Meh

Still have to use some other computer to get to this blog. Meh.

The stove is fixed!

It's getting colder each year, earlier in the season and with more precipitation. It rains and snows weekly where we live, something that is rare for this part of the country. Things are changing. Darker...colder...

Zetatalk is a Nancy Leder network shill site to mislead and misdirect those gullible enough to trust them. They've been predicting planet X for 15 years as being arouund the corner anytime now. The truth is in what they sell, the whole X (hex) generation thing. Xs are on cars, products, books, tattoos, you name it. It's code for HEX, a thing witches do on a magical level to control events, people, places, things. Some companies and their covens don't even hide it anymore - GM cars carry a big HeX on their vehicles. It's witchcraft coming from the shadows to the light of day. Zetatalk has always been a part of that dark side. It's why they are still around when they were totally discredited back in the 90s as a bunko site full of nonsense, spewing lies.

Meh.

The economy in America resembles the Great Depression, save for one thing. No one is talking about it in the MSM. Like Fukushima, it's a reality no one dare mention. But there it is, eating lives and homes, destroying families, and ALL BY DESIGN by the very network that is using the USA as the new evil empire which is despised the world over for its imperialist actions in other countries. Like the Great Depression, there is the forgotten poor and those being taken care of, because they are obedient little cogs in the machine. Even these cogs will be left holding the bag, when their usefulness is over.

When you are dirt poor, you don't make plans. You try to keep food on the table while you can. THat's your plan. There are no plans outside of that. Not career, not love, not things to do, not anything. It's all about survival that week. That's as far as you can see. When your employment efforts are blocked by the satanic network at every turn, life gets real simple, real fast. We laugh when people ask our family what are plans are for this and that, or for this day or that day. We don't have plans. We try to survive. Like the dead, the poor don't have lives or plans, they live one day at a time, for that is all that has been given them. And nothing else.

Meh.

The scandal of the Alabama poor cut off from water

I understand and can relate to their plight. For four winters in a row, we, being abysmally poor, have been unable to afford the heat/electric bill that comes with heating this s-hole apartment we call our home. Lately, at night, it's been in the low 30s F., and so we turn burners on the stove to keep warm, which really doesn't work. You bundle up and stay close. Here in Los Angeles, the cost of centrally heating the place runs about $400 a month, about $350 more than we have. So, it's either eat or freeze. And the rates keep climbing every year. If it weren't food eating right and juicing, we'd constantly be sick. Last week, the stove went out, broke. And it usually takes the apartment manager 1 to 3 weeks to get it together to deal with such things. We have ice on the windows and snow out the door in the hills. We only drive where we absolutely have to, because gas prices around $4 a gallon here make doing anything else like surfing ot visiting people, out of the question.

The people in those counties who are being raped financially by rich county supervisors have my deepest sympathy. And for years now. BUt, you can survive. Wear layers of clothes and many blankets on the bed.

Wish we had a fireplace...

================================

Banks stand to lose millions of dollars in debt repayments if the biggest municipal bankruptcy in American history is allowed to proceed.




But the real victims of the financial collapse in the US state of Alabama's most populous county are its poorest residents - forced to bathe in bottled water and use portable toilets after being cut off from the mains supply.



And there is widespread anger in Jefferson County that swingeing sewerage rate hikes could have been avoided but for the greed, corruption and incompetence of local politicians, government officials and Wall Street financiers.



Tammy Lucas is the human face of a financial and political scandal that has brought one of the most deprived communities in America's south to the point of what some local people believe is collapse.



She says: "If the sewer bill gets higher, my light might get cut off and if I try to catch up the light, my water might get cut off. So we're in between. We can't make it like this."



Mrs Lucas's monthly sewerage rate bills - the amount levied by the county to flush away waste and provide water for baths and showers - has quadrupled in the past 15 years. She says it is currently running at $150 (£97) a month, which leaves little left out of her $600 social security cheque for food and electricity.



"We need to keep the water running because we're women," she says. "We need to take baths. I try to pay the sewer bill and the water bill together and then what little I got left I try to put on my lights. I got to have lights."
